To a stirred solution of 4,4-dimethyl-pent-2-yn-1-ol (3.1 g, 27.6 mmol) in ethanol (30 ml) is added 10% palladium on carbon (0.3 g). The mixture is stirred under an atmosphere of hydrogen for 16 h. The reaction mixture is filtered through a pad of celite and the celite bed is washed with methanol (10 ml). The filtrate thus obtained is concentrated and the crude product is purified by column chromatography (5-10% ethyl acetate/hexane) to afford 4,4-dimethyl-pentan-1-ol and 4,4-dimethyl-pentan-1-al. To a stirred solution of 4,4-dimethyl-pentan-1-al (0.85 g, 7.45 mmol) in methanol (12 ml) is added sodium borohydride (0.56 g, 14.9 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture is stirred at RT for 1.5 h. On completion, the solvent is evaporated and then diluted with ethyl acetate (30 ml). The organic layer is washed with water (2×20 ml), brine (20 ml), dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated affording 4,4-dimethyl-pentan-1-ol (1.52 g, 13.1 mmol, 48%).
